Anybody ever try this, Swineapple? Found this on Reddit. Looks weird. Bacon wrapped pineapple with boneless pork ribs, 240 for 5 hours. This looks crazy, crazy good!  :)

Hey everybody, I'm looking to add another grill to compliment my SI smoker #2 and my Weber Genesis. I was thinking of adding a Santa Maria Grill, there might be other names for them around the country but that's what they are called on the West coast. The wood fire grilling makes me think of...

Hey Everybody, This past weekend I attempted to make my version of Carnitas using my SI #2. I searched the internet for recipes and found one that tried to duplicate Carnitas on a BBQ with smoke so I followed most of his recipe but in my #2. Carnitas is Mexican pulled pork traditionally...
